"I'm afraid this won't work."

Gao Guiying shook her head and denied Chen Yang's proposal.

"If the Changsha prefect wants to provide money, the money must be paid in one lump sum."

Chen Yang is actually acceptable to this condition, but in order to show it more realistically, he did: "I'm afraid I have to go back to the city to ask Dongweng for instructions."

Gao Guiying nodded and said, "This is also what it should be. Come and send this hero out of the camp."

Chen Yang did not insist much, so he rushed to Gao Guiying and followed the soldiers.

After returning to the city, Chen Yang immediately came to the government office to report on the trip.

The prefect Zhao Hui had already moved around in a hurry. When he saw Chen Yang coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How about this, can these followers agree to leave Changsha Prefecture?"

Chen Yang cleared his throat and said, "Dongweng, don't panic, let me tell you slowly."

Chen Yang picked up a cup of tea and moistened his voice, "This Shun Army is the remaining troops who had just been defeated in Jiugong Mountain. The leader is Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying. She said she was willing to lead the army elsewhere, but she wanted to ask Dongwen to provide a salary of 100,000 taels, and it must be paid in one lump sum."

"These thieves have a really big appetite."

This condition is within Zhao Hui's psychological tolerance, so although he sighed, he did not show too much disappointment.

After all, Chen Yang has tried his best, and some things are not something he can control.

"Yes, I've tried my best to do it, but this group of thieves just didn't let go, as if they were sure to eat Dongweng."

At this moment, Zhao Hui truly realized what it means to be a slaughter and I am a fish. If you cut it with one size fits, others will have the final say on where to cut it.

Zhao Hui had to hold on with a smile.

This feeling is really helpless.

"Forget it, I will pay it in one lump sum. I still have one lump sum of 100,000 taels of silver."

"Dongweng, there are only less than 50,000 taels of silver left in the treasury."

Chen Yang reminded.

"What are you afraid of? I will fill a hole here."

Chen Yang opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Dongweng plans to pay out of his own pocket?"

"Of course not!"

Zhao Hui said coldly: "What I mean is to put the money on the silver first and then make it up later."

Finding two words to supplement is very mysterious.

Generally speaking, there are many ways to find supplements, the most common ones are two, one is to greedy for ink and tax silver, and the other is to search for merchants.

The former is more risky and needs to manage officials at all levels. The latter is basically without risk, and only a reason is needed.

And Zhao Hui had already thought of this excuse.

That's a collaboration!

Didn’t Hao Yaoqi “rob” of a batch of grain before? It happened to be possible to put the charges on some local grain merchants in Changsha.

The government was justified in jailing these grain merchants in the name of colluding with the enemy. Then the whole family was killed and all their property was confiscated. Wasn't this hole filled?

Although the merchants in the Ming Dynasty accumulated a lot of wealth, they did not have much ability to protect themselves.

As long as the government wants, their family may be destroyed at any time.

The so-called county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family are not just talking about it.

Of course, it is not advisable to implicate too many people at once, otherwise it will make people panic and Zhao Hui will be difficult to do in the next term.

"Dongweng, since this is the case, I will go and explain it to those thieves again. You have agreed to the conditions."

"Well, let's do it. Send these plague gods away quickly, so I can live a good old age."

...

Wen Anzhi was very excited when he learned that the emperor wanted to appoint him as governor of Sichuan.

Although I have been very experienced in the Ministry of Rites these days, the affairs I can handle are just some chores and have nothing to do with military and national affairs.

This is still far from Wen Anzhi's expectations.

And if he could become the governor of Sichuan, he would have the opportunity to show off his skills.

What is the situation in Sichuan now?

That's a mess!

If Wen Anzhi could cut the mess quickly and correct the chaos, it would be extremely beneficial to the court's strategy for the entire southwest.

Li Zicheng is already dead. If Zhang Xianzhong can be wiped out, then the only enemy in the court will be left with Donglu.

Wen Anzhi believed that with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, he would do his best to fight this battle, and there was no reason to lose.

After all, the Donglu was just a small tribe with very few Dingkou, so it was impossible for him to have a dignified duel with the Ming Dynasty. If Li Zicheng hadn't attacked Beijing and took the opportunity to take down Shanhaiguan, these Jianlu might have been frozen and hungry outside the pass.

Stealing and fishing for troubled waters is what Donglu has done in the past year.

For the Ming Dynasty, the country must first stabilize the country when fighting against foreign countries.

If there is chaos within, it is impossible to work together to fight against foreign enemies.

Wen Anzhi has made up his mind to destroy Zhang Xianzhong this time and restore Sichuan.

However, the army was a problem. The emperor agreed to allocate him a battalion under the Shence Army, but there were only two thousand people.

There are also tens of thousands of people in Chongqing, Sichuan, but Wen Anzhi may not be able to command the movement. Most of these people were promoted by the former prefect Chen Shiqi.

If Wen Anzhi wants to make a difference, he must make good use of these people.

Of course, even if Wen Anzhi sets off, he will have to be after the first month of the year, and he still has time to consider this period.

He was counting official duties in the office of the Ministry of Rites and preparing to make a settlement with his successor, when an eunuch came to Xuan Wen'an, the Ministry of Rites, to meet the palace.

Wen Anzhi quickly put down what he was doing and followed the eunuch into the palace.

No matter what, the emperor cannot wait for a long time, as this will go against the duties of a minister.

The Ministry of Rites itself is located within the imperial city, and is still very close to the Forbidden City.

Soon Wen Anzhi followed the eunuch into the palace city.

The emperor specially gave him a carriage to ride, but Wen Anzhi couldn't refuse, so he sat up.

I walked along the palace walls and put them down after a stick of incense.

"Mr. Wen, Your Majesty is not in a good mood, please be careful."

The eunuch whispered.

"Thank you, my father-in-law."

Wen Anzhi nodded gratefully.

He took a deep breath, swayed into the hall with a robe and clothes.

At this moment, there were many braziers in the Qianqing Palace, so it was very warm.

Wen Anzhi came to Zhu Cilang to salute and was helped up by the emperor.

"Wen Aiqing, take a look at this secret commentary."

Zhu Cilang sighed.

"I obey the order!"

Although Wen Anzhi was a little confused, he still took the memorial and continued to read it.

As a result, he only read less than a hundred words to understand why the emperor was so angry.

"This Changsha magistrate is so bold that he dares to mess with the thief!"

Wen'an's anger was hard to calm down.

Zhu Cilang said coldly: "At first, I thought that the prefect of Changsha, Zhao Hui, wanted to surrender the remaining troops of the Shun Army, so I sent someone to contact them. Who would have thought that he was giving food and silver to only buy peace!"

The Military Information Department of the Inner Factory issued two secret memorials on this matter. The first one only said that Zhao Hui and Shun Army had contact, while the second one was the one in Zhu Cixuan's hands. His words were firm and directly accused Zhao Hui of colluding with the enemy and treason!
